[Equest-users] Invalid Argument Error

[Howe, Timothy]

Hopefully you were using detailed edit mode.

Look in the folder and you should see a file titled "SIDCO - Baseline Design.inp".  This should have your pre-run input data.  Delete the blank "SIDCO.inp " file and then copy, rename "SIDCO - Baseline Design.inp"  to SIDCO.inp.  As for the bdl file see if you can start up an new project use the correct weather data file and title it the same as before "SIDCO".  Don't worry about any other inputs other than the title and weather data. All other input just ignore.  Copy the new bdl file over to the project directory and open.

Also in the future do not save your file after and invalid argument error, this is what is creating this issue.  When the error occurs, exit the program without saving.

Tim.

Dear Ramesh,

There is nothing in PD and INP files and seems impossible to extract your model.

Thanks!
